nwarden 09/23/16 Experience: 2 Years

Still going strong

Pros

not one dropped out of my RAID array yet

Consalways better than Seagate

SummaryI bought 4 of these 2 years ago... if they last another 2 years, I'll be very satisfied. 5 years, and I'll probably have upgraded them before then... and re-purposed for a small server or a couple mirror/stripe set on a workstation. then maybe they'll even last 10+ years. That's the ultimate test. Of all my WD drives over the last 10 years, only one or two of them died... and one of them was nearly DOA, so I got my warranty fulfilled. Seagate, on the other hand. I've had more than a few suddenly die, sometimes without warning.

Pros

Fast, reliable and secure

Consnone faced yet

SummaryUpgraded to this model from the wd green model 6 months now. The green was underperforming and at times detaching from the NAS mainboard. The WD RED fixes that problem. I had needed to replaced the other green drive in the NAS, so base on overall performance and experience with the RED model, I got some more RED. Great value and performance for the bucks.

Pros

Very quick drives.Don't give off a lot of heat

ConsNone that I have noticed.

SummaryI wasn't sure what to expect from these "red" drives when I ordered them with my new NAS, however so far, they have been very quick to respond. They don't seem to give off a lot of heat like some other drives do.

Overall, very satisfied with my network transfer speeds. No delay in accessing my NAS at any time.

Pros

Fast, quiet, cool, reliable

ConsNeed to check load/unload cycle count a month after install

SummaryI've put together three different servers (linux RAID) with these over the past year and a half. I have had zero failures and everything worked as expected. One thing to check is the load/unload cycle count. One batch had 60,000 after a few months in service, and would have failed prematurely if I had not updated the firmware. Google it for instructions how.
